June 24, 2010|Candice Baker

Freebie of the week: Thrill the little person in your life with a free phone call from Mickey, Minnie, Donald or Goofy. Visit http://www.disney.com/piccolinismiles and register to order the phone call; your chosen Disney character will call your home with a personalized message at a prescribed date and time, and can even greet your child by name.

Examples of scripts that can be selected include messages of congratulations, urges to finish their dinner, encouragement for the child's first day of school, or help in learning the alphabet. The call is available through Sept. 20. No purchase is necessary.

Sofas part of liquidation center

A new addition to the Orange County designer furniture outlet scene is one of Los Angeles' favorite liquidators, Larry St. John.

The company has opened a liquidation center for its sofa stock at 14081 Willow Lane, Westminster.

The current special is a selection of custom sofas that retail for $1,599, but are sold at the Westminster location for $696.

The products are comparable to Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel quality and looks, at a fraction of the price. Call (714) 898-7632 before you go, as the store keeps odd hours.
